AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

486 g, 8.90 x 6.50 x 5.90 cm Shiva shell stone made from natural fossilized Crinoid 'Shivastein', carved with numerous prehistoric fossil inclusions. Jurassic fossils. Crinoid stone – contains fossilized geological inclusions that resemble Shiva's moon – a particularly fascinating piece! The inclusions astonishingly resemble Shiva and his attributes, composed of fossilized ancient shell fossils. Flawless high-gloss polished cut.
Age approximately 150 million years - Jurassic period - Jurassic crinoid - Shiva shell stone
Black fossil skull from Madagascar – a masterpiece of nature and art
A breathtaking collector's piece for connoisseurs: this hand-carved skull made from deep black, fossil limestone originates from Madagascar's ancient sediments — an island whose geological history dates back to the age of the dinosaurs.
Enclosed in the stone: fossilized shell inclusions from the Jurassic period, whose arrangement naturally forms a pattern that seems almost surreal — like unfurled dragon wings, delicate silhouettes of prehistoric ferns, or the wings of long-extinct pterosaurs. Every line, every grain tells of the dance of time, of pressure, fossilization, and millions of years beneath the earth.
Anatomically hyper-realistic fossil Jurassic period skull with 'Living eyes.'
Origin: Mahajanga Basin, Madagascar
Material: Fossil limestone with natural shell inclusions.
Age: Jurassic (about 150 million years)
Feature: Naturally occurring pattern — no other specimen matches it.
In India, the shell stone with its crescent-shaped inclusions of fossil shells is associated with the god Shiva, whose symbol is the crescent moon.
